"Thank you" said Kitty in response to Hope's compliment about her being a good storyteller, and she her small smile. Now Sabbath was asking to hear the story too, so Kitty had no reason to not say it.

She came to a pause and sat down on the floor with her worm. Then she began: "Professor Black was our Divination teacher - but she is also an evil hag! She lived in a smelly old tent out in the middle of the school grounds. I wasn't scared of her at first, because I was certain that the Headmistress wouldn't have hired her if she was dangerous. So on the day that it was our first Divination lesson I went down to her tent to visit her with another Ravenclaw student. But almost right away she threatened to eat us both alive! We barely escaped with our lives but by then the rest of the class was coming down. I ran back and tried to spy on her from a rock but her pet crow told her where I was and she pulled up to the front by the cauldron. When Haddie and I tried to escape she froze us like we were statues and she threw a Hufflepuff boy into the boiling pot! Don't worry he was okay."

Kitty's eyes sparkled with the delight of telling the story, not at the bad things that had happened to them. "The Hag was going to eat us all and she probably would have, but then the Headmisstress and two of the teachers came and saved us. They tried to arrest the Hag but she escaped with the help of her evil crow sidekicks. She's probably still out there somewhere in the Forbidden Forest biding her time and plotting a kidnapping of one of us. The headmistress ordered that the teachers patrol the castle to make certain she doesn't come back."

Seeing the reaction from Noelle to her worm, Kitty placed it back on the ground gently. "Do worms frighten you? Sorry, I didn't know."
